The Oil Apothecary

Certified One-Day Interactive Online Group Course

A Full Day of Natural Medicine, Oils, Blending & Apothecary Wisdom

13th November 2026

10am – 5pm Online | 45-Minute Lunch Break

Spend a full interactive day with Nicole Langan, delving deeply into the world of oils, natural medicine, blending, skincare, fragrance and holistic wellbeing.

Created to accompany Nicole’s book, The Oil Apothecary – A Simple Guide to Natural Medicine Through Oils & Ritual Care, this course goes far beyond the pages of the book.

For one full day, Nicole will openly share the knowledge, techniques, insight and wisdom she has gathered through decades of working with oils, natural remedies, bespoke formulations and holistic care.

This is an opportunity to learn directly from her—not simply what she knows, but how she thinks, how she chooses oils, how she approaches a blend and how she brings together intuition, experience and practical knowledge when creating for an individual.

Nothing is deliberately held back.

Nicole’s aim is to give each group access to the knowledge she has accumulated throughout her career and to answer the questions that cannot always be answered within the pages of a book.

This is a live, interactive group experience, allowing participants to ask questions throughout the day, discuss individual scenarios and explore the practical application of what they are learning.

What We Will Explore

Essential Oils & Natural Medicine

Understand essential oils at a much deeper level—their properties, uses, quality, potency, grades, sourcing and the importance of choosing the appropriate oil for its intended purpose.

The Art of Blending

Learn how Nicole approaches bespoke blending and how several oils can be brought together intelligently rather than simply following a recipe.

You will explore synergy, ratios, percentages, administration, carrier oils and how the overall purpose of a preparation influences its formulation.

Creating Bespoke Natural Remedies

Discover how to look beyond an individual symptom and consider the person as a whole.

Nicole will share her approach to selecting oils according to the physical, emotional and practical needs of an individual and how this information can influence the final preparation.

Carrier Oils & Infusions

Learn how carrier oils differ, why the carrier can be just as important as the essential oils within a preparation, and how to select oils according to skin type, purpose and method of use.

Bespoke Natural Skincare

Explore the principles behind creating beautiful natural skincare preparations using high-quality ingredients.

Learn how oils can be selected for different skin types and concerns and begin understanding how to formulate facial and body oils with purpose.

Signature Fragrance & The Power of Scent

Explore top, middle and base notes and discover how fragrances are constructed.

Nicole will also introduce the relationship between scent, memory, emotion and the olfactory system and how fragrance can be used both creatively and intentionally.

Mind, Body & Emotional Wellbeing

Discover the relationship between our emotional state, physical wellbeing, scent and ritual.

You will explore ways oils may be incorporated into everyday wellbeing practices for relaxation, grounding, focus, rest and emotional support.

Safety, Administration & Responsible Practice

Understand the importance of concentration, appropriate administration, contraindications, storage and responsible essential-oil use.

You will also learn why children, animals, pregnancy, medications and particular health circumstances require additional care and consideration.

Building Your Own Oil Apothecary

Learn how to build a practical collection of essential oils, carrier oils and complementary ingredients without feeling that you need to own everything.

Nicole will share the versatile oils she considers particularly valuable and explain how an apothecarist learns to work creatively with what is available.

Ask Nicole

A central part of this course is interaction.

Throughout the day there will be opportunities to ask Nicole your own questions, explore real-life examples and discuss oils, blends, ingredients and situations that are particularly relevant to you.

It is this live exchange of knowledge that makes the day different from simply reading a book or completing a pre-recorded course.

You are learning directly with Nicole and benefiting from the experience and understanding she has built throughout her working life.

All My Knowledge. One Extraordinary Day.

Nicole has spent decades learning, formulating, blending, creating and working intuitively and practically with oils.

This course has been created as an opportunity to pass that knowledge forward.

The little things learned through experience.

The reasoning behind a formulation.

The oils Nicole repeatedly returns to.

The combinations that work beautifully together.

The lessons learned over years of practice.

The mistakes to avoid.

And the instinctive understanding that develops when oils become part of your everyday work.

This is the knowledge that Nicole will share with you throughout the day.

Your Book Becomes Your Continuing Reference

The Oil Apothecary accompanies the course and becomes a resource you can return to again and again after the live teaching day has finished.

The course gives you the understanding behind the pages.

The book allows you to continue exploring them.

Together, they provide a practical foundation from which you can begin creating your own relationship with the traditional and modern world of the oil apothecary.
